1:26
Speaker 3: Because of you, we get to keep doing this.
1:28
Speaker 1: So thank you. Thank you. All right, So questions today?
1:33
Speaker 1: All right?
1:33
Speaker 3: So, as I heard on Instagram, the staff of the
1:36
Speaker 3: Strongest Man competition said that sponsorship situation for the competition
1:40
Speaker 3: isn't as good as it used to be. I can
1:42
Speaker 3: understand that, but for me, it's similar to bodybuilding. Why
1:47
Speaker 3: do their sponsorships and prize money tend to be higher.
1:51
Speaker 3: What's the difference between the two. Why do the sponsors
1:54
Speaker 3: treat them differently? I wonder if there's wastes saying strong
2:01
Speaker 3: to sustain the strong Man movement and expand its audience base,
2:06
Speaker 3: thank you so much. Okay, so here here's here's here's
2:11
Speaker 3: the trick in the nutshell, the strong sponsorship stuff is
2:16
Speaker 3: actually doing pretty darn good. It's not that bad. They're
2:21
Speaker 3: just having harder problems, like in the locations getting more
2:26
Speaker 3: sponsorship because they make mistakes with the crowd. Okay, like
2:31
Speaker 3: the local businesses and stuff. They'll they'll dump a ton
2:34
Speaker 3: of money if they know they're going to be really busy.
2:36
Speaker 3: The problem is is the grand stands this year seated
2:39
Speaker 3: about two hundred.
2:40
Speaker 1: And eighty eight people. That's it.
2:42
Speaker 3: That's why they sold out in a half an hour
2:44
Speaker 3: for all four days. They should probably move the grand
2:48
Speaker 3: stands back and go three sides of grandstands or and
2:53
Speaker 3: and even have like two corner pieces so or even yeah,
2:56
Speaker 3: have so have four of those instead of two and
3:00
Speaker 3: kind of like I'm trying to get my hands here,
3:03
Speaker 3: have like to this, have one this way one kind
3:06
Speaker 3: of this way and then another one, and then another
3:08
Speaker 3: one and then still have the other pretty much half
3:13
Speaker 3: to where they could get to it the way they
3:15
Speaker 3: did for production. But you can add two more grand
3:18
Speaker 3: stands to the same side if you just push it
3:20
Speaker 3: back a little farther and then charge people for the
3:23
Speaker 3: seats and then for the standing room only stuff have
3:27
Speaker 3: general emission. You can probably get another three or four
3:30
Speaker 3: thousand in there for general emission. If you do that,
3:33
Speaker 3: you know, push it back about fifteen feet and everybody
3:35
Speaker 3: can just you know, stand in there and stuff like that.
3:38
Speaker 3: It'll work pretty good. That'll bring a lot more local
3:42
Speaker 3: sponsorship because you got that much that many more people
3:45
Speaker 3: coming to stay in the hotels, eat in the restaurants,
3:48
Speaker 3: buy souvenirs, buy stuff that's there, and spend more money there.
3:53
Speaker 3: So that that's kind of like the the kind of
3:56
Speaker 3: air that they that they are, the kind of like
4:00
Speaker 3: they like the grandstands the way they are because it
4:02
Speaker 3: looks really nice and you get this really good look
4:04
Speaker 3: for TV with the grandstands, but they're not really worried
4:08
Speaker 3: about getting as many people as possible into there, which
4:11
Speaker 3: is something which is kind of like a mistake that
4:15
Speaker 3: they're actually making and then not to mention. I mean,
4:18
Speaker 3: they charge pretty good fee for the seats, but you
4:21
Speaker 3: can charge maybe half that price for the standing and
4:25
Speaker 3: have another couple three four thousand in there. The people
4:28
Speaker 3: that would gleefully pay that. Yeah, And I just don't
4:33
Speaker 3: understand why they don't think that way, but they don't.
4:36
Speaker 3: And maybe they'll see this and go okay, well that's
4:39
Speaker 3: an idea, and maybe they'll do that next year. Don't
4:42
Speaker 3: want to lose any egos stuff like that.
4:44
Speaker 2: But yeah, well you know, the one thing too is
4:47
Speaker 2: they give enough notice to where the location is going
4:49
Speaker 2: to be. Oh yeah, you know, because it's all about
4:52
Speaker 2: you know, like the further you could plan out the
4:54
Speaker 2: cheaper this flights, the cheaper hotels, you know, being able
4:58
Speaker 2: to get ahead.
4:59
Speaker 1: Of those things. Oh for sure.
5:00
Speaker 3: And like I said, if they could sign another sell
5:04
Speaker 3: another three thousand general admission stuff where you don't really
5:08
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of expense because you don't have
5:11
Speaker 3: to buy the rises of the grandstands. It's just more
5:13
Speaker 3: money that can go back into the show home, back
5:15
Speaker 3: into the athletes, and back into the producers and all
5:19
Speaker 3: the rest of the staff that are doing the show.
5:21
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot to it. I mean they had
5:24
Speaker 3: what eight different huge cameras out there, and the television
5:28
Speaker 3: production from this is like the quality of the production
5:31
Speaker 3: is first class. I mean it's huge. It's a massive
5:35
Speaker 3: TV show as far as the way they do the
5:37
Speaker 3: filming and everything else, So the rigs and all that
5:40
Speaker 3: other stuff, a couple other things they could do. They'll
5:43
Speaker 3: be a little bit nicer for the athletes. Is like
5:46
Speaker 3: for the squad event, they brought out two separate platforms
5:49
Speaker 3: that were already set up and just put it right
5:51
Speaker 3: on top of the ones that were there. Well, they
5:54
Speaker 3: should do that for the overhead if they're not going
5:57
Speaker 3: to drop the stuff into the map like they did
6:01
Speaker 3: with the dumbbells. If they're going to do that with
6:03
Speaker 3: the with the bar bells. The floor broke and so
6:08
Speaker 3: they had to stop the competition for probably thirty forty minutes,
6:12
Speaker 3: take the rafters, take the whole stage apart, take the
6:15
Speaker 3: rafters apart, and then pull all that stuff out, put
6:18
Speaker 3: it all back together, and then continue on with like
6:22
Speaker 3: the last heat because it broke I think on the
6:23
Speaker 3: third or fourth heat. Yeah, so it you know, a
6:27
Speaker 3: little hindsight and a little foresight on those things. Because
6:30
Speaker 3: this isn't the first time they've had this problem either.
6:33
Speaker 3: So it doing that and having separate platforms to come
6:36
Speaker 3: in and just drop on with a forklift and take
6:39
Speaker 3: off with a forklift when needed. We'll go a long
6:42
Speaker 3: ways as well. You know, the ones for the squat platform,
6:45
Speaker 3: they could simply just take the squat stands off of
6:48
Speaker 3: it and put it back on and just screw them
6:50
Speaker 3: back on really fast. You can use it for the
6:52
Speaker 3: overhead and everything else after the fact. So and then
6:57
Speaker 3: it also wouldn't hurt like when they're doing the log,
6:59
Speaker 3: and like the log for instance, they didn't put an
7:01
Speaker 3: extra platform up there so you can see the stage
7:04
Speaker 3: giving you know when they're doing that. And so the
7:06
Speaker 3: guy the strict pressers did pretty good because they can
7:10
Speaker 3: keep their balance. The guys who are jerking it overhead
7:14
Speaker 3: and trying to split jerk, they're going to struggle with
7:16
Speaker 3: that because the stage is going to move a little
7:18
Speaker 3: more and it's gonna make it hard to balance. But
7:20
Speaker 3: these are just things that could be improved. I mean,
7:24
Speaker 3: everybody's still got a lift on the same stuff. But
7:27
Speaker 3: if you're worrying about the health of the athletes and
7:29
Speaker 3: the longevity of the athletes.
7:31
Speaker 1: It will help.
7:32
Speaker 3: It'll also make things more stable and you'll get the
7:35
Speaker 3: biggest performances out of your athletes, which is what you
7:38
Speaker 3: should be looking for at that point. Yeah, but as
7:43
Speaker 3: far as the sponsorships go, they're not bad. They're doing
7:47
Speaker 3: pretty sad other than the crowd. They could probably do
7:50
Speaker 3: more with that. But the biggest difference between the bodybuilding
7:53
Speaker 3: shows and the and the strong man shows is bodybuilding
7:58
Speaker 3: is not on TV.
8:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of extreme, but live stream is live stream
8:07
Speaker 4: is completely different and it's way cheaper than the productions
8:11
Speaker 4: that they're doing.
8:11
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys are using cameras for the television
8:16
Speaker 3: production that are anywhere between one hundred thousand and two
8:19
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars for each of the cameras,
8:22
Speaker 3: So I mean it's it's it's big plus you have
8:24
Speaker 3: to pay the crew to do that, and that's those
8:29
Speaker 3: guys aren't cheap. I mean, they're journey and they're making money.
8:33
Speaker 3: And then the producers also make quite a bit of money.
8:35
Speaker 3: The people that are running everything. There's many different heads
8:41
Speaker 3: of departments there that all get paid to go to
8:43
Speaker 3: some money. So yeah, it takes away from it takes
8:50
Speaker 3: away from them what that money could be for the athletes.
8:53
Speaker 1: But it's necessary. You're going to do a TV.
8:55
Speaker 3: Show, and that's what World's Strongest Man is. It's a
8:58
Speaker 3: TV show that is a strong contest, which is which
9:01
Speaker 3: is awesome, it's great, But like I said, the expenses
9:04
Speaker 3: are different. Like I said, you can make up some
9:07
Speaker 3: with having more seats available to get more people in there,
9:11
Speaker 3: which will give you more revenue as far as people
9:14
Speaker 3: actually coming in and paying for seats. And then it'll
9:16
Speaker 3: also do more for local areas because you're bringing you know,
9:21
Speaker 3: five to ten thousand people into an area instead of
9:25
Speaker 3: you know, two hundred and eighty eight or three hundred
9:28
Speaker 3: and sixty people into an area. On top of the
9:31
Speaker 3: top of that, I mean, you're still gonna have friends
9:33
Speaker 3: and families, So you're looking at another easy one hundred,
9:36
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty people with coaches and everything else.
9:39
Speaker 3: But still that's nowhere near thousands.
9:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is over four days too, so it's
9:44
Speaker 2: a consistent amount of people there for you know, basically
9:48
Speaker 2: a week.
9:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have an extra ten thousand people there watching,
9:53
Speaker 3: you know, over over four days. The local economy is
9:55
Speaker 3: going to get a big boost. And people will will
9:58
Speaker 3: step up in sponsors stuff like that because they want
10:00
Speaker 3: you to come to their business. There's how many how
10:03
Speaker 3: many put you know, minister golf places?
10:06
Speaker 1: We count in that.
10:08
Speaker 2: Place, you know and quick Shot Corner, you know.
10:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, Peaches Corner, Love Peaches Corner. Man.
10:15
Speaker 3: If you if you get there, yeah, if you go,
10:19
Speaker 3: get a burger basket, that's the place to go. I mean,
10:21
Speaker 3: it's went through the last time in this area. Went
10:23
Speaker 3: there again this time. It's it's amazing. It's that place
10:27
Speaker 3: is unreal. It's delicious, it's quick, and the service is
10:32
Speaker 3: just top notch. So it's pretty neat to go there.
10:37
Speaker 3: But that's kind of like the biggest difference with it
10:39
Speaker 3: is once the TV show, it eats up a lot
10:41
Speaker 3: more of the budget, a lot more of the money
10:43
Speaker 3: and uh, but the sponsorship and stuff like that, the
10:46
Speaker 3: money is just as high as it is for bodybuilding.
10:48
Speaker 3: It's just there's a lot less expenses and that money
10:51
Speaker 3: can then go to the athletes.
10:53
Speaker 1: A little bit more exactly.
10:55
Speaker 3: Question two, Nick, from your perspective, what felt different about
11:00
Speaker 3: this year's World Strongest Man compared to the shows you
11:02
Speaker 3: competed in, Whether it's events, athlete, preparation or how the
11:08
Speaker 3: competition played out. What's different in it. I mean the
11:14
Speaker 3: guys definitely in most ways get treated a lot better
11:21
Speaker 3: than we did. The food's better, the hotels or the
11:26
Speaker 3: hotels are better than what we dealt with. Having your
11:31
Speaker 3: coach and family members be able to come in and watch.
11:34
Speaker 3: It's way better because when I first went, you couldn't
11:37
Speaker 3: have anybody back there untill like twenty fourteen. It was
11:41
Speaker 3: the China incident that kind of got rid of that
11:44
Speaker 3: with the producer that I think still works for the
11:49
Speaker 3: film company but doesn't work for a World Strongest Man anymore. Yeah,
11:54
Speaker 3: that you know, we were very replaceable cattle to her.
11:57
Speaker 3: I just said that out loud. But that's the way
12:00
Speaker 3: we were treated. And once that started to change, things
12:04
Speaker 3: were better. You could have a coach come back or
12:06
Speaker 3: a couple of people come back and help you. You
12:08
Speaker 3: could have your family come in, your very close friends
12:11
Speaker 3: come in, and you weren't there by yourself, you weren't
12:15
Speaker 3: so isolated and everything else, and it just it was great.
12:19
Speaker 3: It's so much better as far as that goes the venues.
12:24
Speaker 3: I like South Carolina. I think it's one of the
12:27
Speaker 3: better places that they've been to compete in very much better.
12:32
Speaker 3: The weather was so much better than like Senya or Sacramento,
12:38
Speaker 3: the Philippines. Philippines was pretty hot, Malaysia was super hot,
12:43
Speaker 3: super rainy. They're great, beautiful places I would love to go.
12:47
Speaker 3: I would not. I mean, I love the opportunity to
12:50
Speaker 3: go see those places. But as far as competing goes,
12:54
Speaker 3: I think the weather and just the way it was
12:56
Speaker 3: in Myrtle Beach was a lot better in a lot
12:59
Speaker 3: of places I got to compete in. La wasn't too bad,
13:04
Speaker 3: but La was all over the place. We had to
13:06
Speaker 3: take you know, two hour bus rides to places that, yeah,
13:09
Speaker 3: you know, down to the beach and back and stuff
13:11
Speaker 3: like that. So I really like that because everything's close,
13:16
Speaker 3: everything's right there in one spot for him, So it's
13:19
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty neat.
13:20
Speaker 1: I like that.
13:21
Speaker 3: The cold tent, you know, the tent that they go
13:23
Speaker 3: to go and do with the air conditioning where they
13:25
Speaker 3: have food and snacks and stuff like that, is way
13:28
Speaker 3: better yet couches than the ones I was.
13:32
Speaker 1: You know, they were just starting to do those, especially after.
13:37
Speaker 3: China, you know when when when I was there and
13:41
Speaker 3: they were nowhere near what they are now or nowhere
13:43
Speaker 3: near the size or as cool as they are now,
13:46
Speaker 3: so that that's pretty neat for these guys. Yeah, so
13:50
Speaker 3: there's there's things that are definitely quite a bit better.
13:54
Speaker 3: There's a couple of things that are a little bit different.
13:58
Speaker 3: I mean, none of us head coach, which is really
14:00
Speaker 3: back then. I mean you could call like I would
14:02
Speaker 3: call Ed Cohen, bounce stuff off of him. I would
14:05
Speaker 3: bounce things off, things off guys. But I mean we
14:08
Speaker 3: basically all coached ourselves. So we would learn. We'd watch
14:11
Speaker 3: other guys see what they're doing and learn from that.
14:13
Speaker 3: We didn't have like somebody coming over going hey, okay,
14:17
Speaker 3: now it's time to do this, and now it's time
14:18
Speaker 3: to do that, and you should be doing this, and
14:20
Speaker 3: you should be doing that. We just did it, you know,
14:24
Speaker 3: and we did it for all for each other too,
14:25
Speaker 3: So a lot of us were all doing the same things,
14:28
Speaker 3: and or we'd learn from each other and watch somebody,
14:31
Speaker 3: oh okay, well next time we go to.
14:32
Speaker 1: Do it that way.
14:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you don't see so much of that going
14:36
Speaker 3: on now. I think a lot of the coaches know
14:39
Speaker 3: how to program programming, but have no idea how to
14:43
Speaker 3: compete they've never done the show, they've never done the events.
14:48
Speaker 3: They really don't know some of the small little things
14:52
Speaker 3: that will make a massive difference, something like learning tying
14:56
Speaker 3: the back of your shirt in or not when you're
14:59
Speaker 3: getting ready to do this own. So if you're not
15:01
Speaker 3: gonna wear a belt to hold the shirt down, tie
15:04
Speaker 3: your shirt or not, put TACKI on your belly. Then
15:06
Speaker 3: put taki on the shirt so the shirt sticks to
15:10
Speaker 3: the belly and doesn't move. Because nothing's worse than picking
15:12
Speaker 3: up the stone and pulling it up your belly and
15:14
Speaker 3: it starts to slide. Yeah, And there's all kinds of
15:18
Speaker 3: little things like that in all the lists. Almost none
15:20
Speaker 3: of the guys wore any baby powder on the dead list.
15:23
Speaker 3: Don't understand that at all. Let's make something that will
15:26
Speaker 3: help it come up our legs a little bit. Let's
15:28
Speaker 3: make it stick to our legs better. I just blew
15:32
Speaker 3: my mind. So, like I said, a lot of these
15:35
Speaker 3: guys don't know how to do the little things on
15:39
Speaker 3: competition day. And if your coach doesn't know how to
15:41
Speaker 3: do the things on competition day, he shouldn't be coaching
15:44
Speaker 3: you there on competition day.
15:48
Speaker 1: Just my two cents, it's yeah, you know.
15:50
Speaker 3: Anybody can write programming, and I mean these guys are
15:53
Speaker 3: the freaks of the freaks of the freaks, so pretty
15:56
Speaker 3: much nearly anything they do in training and stuff that
16:01
Speaker 3: most of the guys, the stuff that they're doing is
16:03
Speaker 3: not revolutionary. You know, it's just common sense stuff that
16:07
Speaker 3: you learn over time. You know how to get your
16:11
Speaker 3: training right, when to start backing off on your training.
16:14
Speaker 3: You know, three weeks out it's the heaviest. The second
16:17
Speaker 3: two weeks out you do some of the events, but
16:19
Speaker 3: you maybe only do half of them. And then a
16:22
Speaker 3: week out you get a little bit of stuff into
16:24
Speaker 3: where you're lifting a little bit. You maybe do some
16:27
Speaker 3: deadlift for reps with like five hundred pounds for a
16:30
Speaker 3: set of twenty something that you're easy to you know,
16:32
Speaker 3: recover from the week before and get a little bit
16:35
Speaker 3: of other stuff and get stretching in and moving around
16:38
Speaker 3: and diet stuff and things like that. But you know,
16:42
Speaker 3: come into that contest rested. One of the reasons why
16:45
Speaker 3: I think Reno did so well this year is he
16:48
Speaker 3: got sick four weeks ago. Yeah, and lost I think
16:53
Speaker 3: twenty kilos. He gained fifteen of them back. But guess what,
16:57
Speaker 3: you can't do when you're sick, can't train that much,
17:01
Speaker 3: so he got a lot of rest.
17:03
Speaker 1: He came into this contest and fierce, looking strong. He
17:09
Speaker 1: was pushing Hooper. I mean every every event.
17:14
Speaker 3: The guy won the first three events, Yeah, Hooper got second.
17:18
Speaker 3: The funny thing is Hooper either got second or tied
17:21
Speaker 3: for second in every single event, yep, every single event.
17:26
Speaker 3: So he won his heat. When he came in, he
17:29
Speaker 3: had a one point lead. Because now the leader the
17:32
Speaker 3: heats gets ten points nine eight, seven, six, five, So
17:35
Speaker 3: the guy in tenth starts the finals with one point,
17:37
Speaker 3: where the guy in first starts starts it with ten.
17:40
Speaker 1: So you got to make up that deficit.
17:42
Speaker 3: So basically, those three first places got rid of that
17:46
Speaker 3: deficit and he had a two and a half point
17:49
Speaker 3: lead over Mitchell going to the second day. Second day,
17:52
Speaker 3: they get into the log and given to Reno Man
17:55
Speaker 3: he hit a I think a fifteen key little pr
17:58
Speaker 3: on the log.
17:59
Speaker 2: Yeah because her twice.
18:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the deadlift down on the log, which is deadlift.
18:04
Speaker 3: He pulled five deadlifts and like thirty seconds. Guy just smoothed.
18:08
Speaker 3: The kid just killed it.
18:09
Speaker 1: But he was.
18:10
Speaker 3: Fresh, he was fresh. Let me say it again. He
18:14
Speaker 3: was fresh. He wasn't killing himself coming into it because
18:19
Speaker 3: he got sick. All the training was pretty much done
18:21
Speaker 3: at that point. You're not gonna get super weak in
18:23
Speaker 3: a month. If anything. He gets some rest, come back
18:27
Speaker 3: and train medium to medium heavy and then just finish
18:31
Speaker 3: off the rest of his prep and then showed up
18:33
Speaker 3: and he he came out like a raging bull. He
18:38
Speaker 3: really did. And man, he got rest. He came in
18:41
Speaker 3: full blast, ready to go, and he put the screws
18:45
Speaker 3: to Mitch. But Mitch on the second day, like when
18:48
Speaker 3: he started doing the log, when he first started doing
18:51
Speaker 3: the log, and he lost his balance on the first one,
18:54
Speaker 3: the second one is a little shaky. You're going, ooh,
18:57
Speaker 3: I don't know. And then here he is. He moves
18:59
Speaker 3: into the next log. It starts getting a little better,
19:02
Speaker 3: looking a little better. But it's into the next log,
19:04
Speaker 3: starts looking better, comes up to the four twenty, looks
19:07
Speaker 3: even better, gets to the four forty and look like
19:12
Speaker 3: his best log. And then Reino hits the four forty
19:14
Speaker 3: and you could just see him going, all right, well,
19:17
Speaker 3: I got to get the next one. And they go
19:18
Speaker 3: to like four sixty. Yeah, I think it was four
19:21
Speaker 3: sixty three or something like that, and Mitch comes in
19:26
Speaker 3: clutch and nails it, comes.
19:28
Speaker 1: In clutch and nails it.
19:29
Speaker 3: Reino misses it, and then there's only three guys left. Yep,
19:34
Speaker 3: you know there's there's three guys left. And man, I
19:36
Speaker 3: tell you what when?
19:38
Speaker 1: Uh? What is it? Adrian? No? Yeah? Was it Adrian? Yeah? Adrian? Uh?
19:47
Speaker 1: Who's Sid Who's Uh? Yeah, I'm checking? Yeah that guy?
19:51
Speaker 2: Damn what can't I remember his last It's it's hard.
19:53
Speaker 2: I'm hard on his last name.
19:55
Speaker 3: I know, so am I But I mean he came
19:57
Speaker 3: in he's skipped four seventy, which Trey came in there
20:01
Speaker 3: and pressed four seventy.
20:02
Speaker 1: Like it was nothing, nothing, I mean.
20:04
Speaker 2: Nothing like crazy that that just like just.
20:09
Speaker 1: Drilled it and it was absolutely amazing to watch. Yeah,
20:13
Speaker 1: and you know there it put him.
20:16
Speaker 3: In a spot where after that, because you know, like
20:20
Speaker 3: I said, uh, Andre.
20:22
Speaker 1: Andre, that's it Andre Andre?
20:24
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Andre came out and he skipped four to seventy.
20:27
Speaker 3: He went to four eighty and then so Trey's like going, okay,
20:31
Speaker 3: well we'll go up after that.
20:32
Speaker 1: Let's see if he gets it, and he misses it.
20:34
Speaker 1: So Trey's at four eighty.
20:37
Speaker 3: Oscar andre Andre is that uh four sixty three, and
20:45
Speaker 3: then so is so is Trey or Mitchell, Mitch Mitchell,
20:51
Speaker 3: so so's Mitch Hooper, and so because of that, he
20:54
Speaker 3: picked up a point in half. Now there's only one
20:57
Speaker 3: point between him and Reno going into the stones. So
21:00
Speaker 3: all's either one of them's got to do is beat
21:02
Speaker 3: the other one of the stones and it's over. Everybody
21:04
Speaker 3: is so far behind the two of them that there
21:10
Speaker 3: was no you didn't have to worry about anybody getting
21:13
Speaker 3: in between them the stones. Yeah, you know, all you
21:16
Speaker 3: had to do was beat the other guy and you
21:18
Speaker 3: won the title.
21:20
Speaker 1: Yep. And you know, and it was a pretty pretty
21:24
Speaker 1: exciting thing, because very exciting thing. You know. Reino and
21:30
Speaker 1: Mitch get going.
21:32
Speaker 3: Mitch is slightly faster on the first stone, kind of
21:34
Speaker 3: has a bobble with the second stone.
21:36
Speaker 1: Reino gets the second stump up.
21:38
Speaker 3: Now he's a little behind, picks up the third stone,
21:41
Speaker 3: goes pretty good with the third stone, and Reino still
21:44
Speaker 3: just a little bit of him, gets to the four stone.
21:47
Speaker 3: Hooper picks up the four stone, laughs it and walks
21:51
Speaker 3: right in, gets it up on top. Reino kind of
21:54
Speaker 3: drops the four stone, and that's what allowed you know,
21:58
Speaker 3: him to go up ahead of him, and it took
22:00
Speaker 3: a little time for him to get that four stone.
22:03
Speaker 3: They both get to the fifth stone and Mitch, you
22:06
Speaker 3: can just tell, Mitch is like, oh my gosh, he's
22:08
Speaker 3: almost he's kind of out of gas. And he gets
22:11
Speaker 3: it in his lap and he's trying to get He
22:13
Speaker 3: walks it forward to the podium a little bit, tries
22:15
Speaker 3: to lift it up and drops it. And then the
22:17
Speaker 3: first thing he does is start looking at Reino and
22:19
Speaker 3: Reno's getting pretty close to loading it, and he drops it.
22:23
Speaker 1: Yep, his alls.
22:23
Speaker 3: Reino's got to do is load that fifth stone because
22:25
Speaker 3: he was only one guy, which is to mental who
22:28
Speaker 3: loaded all the.
22:28
Speaker 1: Stones at record speed. Yeah, he did it fast.
22:34
Speaker 3: He is now the king of Stones exactly. But uh,
22:39
Speaker 3: you know, Mitch tries again.
22:41
Speaker 1: It's not going.
22:43
Speaker 3: He just now he stops and he's watching Reino, and
22:45
Speaker 3: Reino tries again and he's he's leaning back, but he
22:48
Speaker 3: just misses it and drops it. And that was it
22:50
Speaker 3: because he loaded four faster, and he loaded four faster
22:53
Speaker 3: than anyone else, so he got to that four stone
22:56
Speaker 3: pretty fast, and that was it. He won, yep, World's
23:00
Speaker 3: Strongest Man two times now six. So it was a
23:06
Speaker 3: great contest, It really was. Yeah, it was unbelievable, probably
23:10
Speaker 3: one of the tightest endings and the craziest thing about
23:13
Speaker 3: all that was there going into the stones, there was
23:18
Speaker 3: six guys still in fight for.
23:22
Speaker 1: The podium, for that third spot on the podium. Yep.
23:25
Speaker 3: Let me say that again. There were six of the
23:28
Speaker 3: ten competitors, and one was out and two were in
23:33
Speaker 3: first and second that weren't going to be removed from that.
23:36
Speaker 3: So there's only one guy that was still in the
23:38
Speaker 3: competition that didn't have a shot at getting third. And
23:43
Speaker 3: when Trey went up there and loaded all five of
23:45
Speaker 3: those stones, he put an explanation point on it, going,
23:47
Speaker 3: I'm on the podium.
23:48
Speaker 1: Does yep?
23:49
Speaker 2: And so broke his fourth place position from times podium Yeah.
23:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he his podium in fourth, so he's finally
23:59
Speaker 3: got to the third.
24:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:02
Speaker 3: I think a couple yeah, I think a couple simple
24:05
Speaker 3: mistakes with not reading some of the rules, like on
24:10
Speaker 3: the deadlift.
24:12
Speaker 1: Which I didn't even know either. Yeah, cost tray a
24:15
Speaker 1: little bit.
24:15
Speaker 3: I think if Trey ever gets some soup bottoms, not
24:18
Speaker 3: even necessarily puts on a suit, but gets some soup
24:21
Speaker 3: bottoms and then goes outside and starts pulling in the
24:25
Speaker 3: heat out in the elements when he's you know, getting
24:30
Speaker 3: ready for a world I think that'll make a massive
24:33
Speaker 3: difference for him. Yeah, you know, I really do. I
24:37
Speaker 3: think it'll make a huge difference for him if he
24:39
Speaker 3: goes outside and starts doing that and then just get
24:44
Speaker 3: a little faster with the you know, the medley. I
24:46
Speaker 3: think the medley costs him a few points. And truck
24:49
Speaker 3: pull wasn't bad, truck pule wasn't bad, but you know,
24:53
Speaker 3: the medley and then flipping that bar over was just
24:56
Speaker 3: weird because I think he conked himself in the head.
24:58
Speaker 3: I think three people hit themselves in the head with
25:00
Speaker 3: that box flip, which exactly I mean it put.
25:03
Speaker 1: Austin drum, yeah, which he had drum.
25:07
Speaker 3: The second time it hit him in the head. It
25:09
Speaker 3: gave him a concussion because it hit him pretty hard.
25:11
Speaker 3: It jammed his neck.
25:12
Speaker 1: And then yeah, yeah.
25:17
Speaker 3: Yep, kept talking about it. I don't know about this thing,
25:19
Speaker 3: you know, kind of a bad idea because if anybody
25:22
Speaker 3: drops it or anything goes wrong, it's good. That's right
25:24
Speaker 3: at the highes where it's gonna hit somebody in the
25:26
Speaker 3: head and three hit three guys in the head.
25:28
Speaker 1: It only gave Austin concussion though.
25:32
Speaker 3: So when he went out and pulled the dead lift,
25:33
Speaker 3: he pulled the first one and then he should have
25:36
Speaker 3: Austin should have been pulling four.
25:37
Speaker 1: Or five with that.
25:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got that kind of power in his back
25:42
Speaker 3: and for him to get hit in the head like that.
25:45
Speaker 3: He pulled the first one, the second one he got
25:47
Speaker 3: three quarters of the way up and got disney and
25:49
Speaker 3: came down. And then he tried another one, got Disney
25:52
Speaker 3: and fell over the top of the bar.
25:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was that.
25:55
Speaker 3: They took him, They got him out of there, and
25:57
Speaker 3: they took him in the tent and checked him.
25:58
Speaker 1: Sure enough, he had a concussion.
26:00
Speaker 3: And I mean the guys in the in the athlete tent,
26:04
Speaker 3: which is kind of dark with sunglasses on, he was
26:07
Speaker 3: that light sensitive. So yeah, it's it's just the same
26:10
Speaker 3: he was put in that position. But yeah, it's you know, think,
26:14
Speaker 3: you know, it's.
26:15
Speaker 2: Just got to compete on the day, you know what
26:16
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
26:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was smart because there's you can fix
26:20
Speaker 3: your body. There's so many things you can fix on
26:22
Speaker 3: your body when things go wrong. Yep, there's not a
26:25
Speaker 3: whole lot they can do to fix your brain. So
26:27
Speaker 3: it was just kind of like, hey, Bud, you know,
26:30
Speaker 3: if you're smart, you know, just let this one go.
26:34
Speaker 1: It's you can come back here.
26:36
Speaker 3: He's young, he's got probably ten or fifteen more of
26:39
Speaker 3: these that he'll have the ability to get to if.
26:42
Speaker 2: He wants it and be able to get to that podium.
26:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, getting brain damage or getting a bad brain bleed
26:48
Speaker 3: after you've got a concussion, it is not a great idea.
26:51
Speaker 3: So I hatch off to him for being smart about
26:54
Speaker 3: it and everything else, because he was looking good. He
26:56
Speaker 3: probably would have did a lot of damage on that
26:57
Speaker 3: log too, and probably in another person and that got
27:00
Speaker 3: in between Reno.
27:02
Speaker 1: And Hooper, So yep, uh or beat Hooper you know
27:09
Speaker 1: on the log.
27:09
Speaker 3: But you know it's any's good Stones. Yeah, so I mean,
27:13
Speaker 3: take take your pick. So it's uh, it was a
27:17
Speaker 3: pretty exciting show to watch it truly was. It was
27:19
Speaker 3: great to see Martinez come back. They do so well
27:22
Speaker 3: and officially announced he's coming back to do it again
27:25
Speaker 3: next year.
27:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:27
Speaker 3: That actually really kind of gets me excited because he
27:30
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this is probably gonna be my last one.
27:32
Speaker 3: And then and then starts competing. He goes, Nope, I'll
27:34
Speaker 3: be back next year. So that that was great. I
27:37
Speaker 3: know just how that feels too, so like no, I
27:41
Speaker 3: don't know, Yeah, I'm coming back. So yeah, that's that
27:45
Speaker 3: was pretty darn exciting. It really was just all the
27:48
Speaker 3: way around. I mean there were so many Nick Gordion
27:51
Speaker 3: making the finals and going out there and giving it
27:54
Speaker 3: everything he had in the finals, that was so awesome.
27:57
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of it.
27:58
Speaker 2: Well, we had the Texas boys, you know what I'm saying.
28:01
Speaker 1: Through Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
28:04
Speaker 2: It was a big, big, big thing right there, you
28:06
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And was we didn't have anybody
28:09
Speaker 2: from England.
28:12
Speaker 3: No, nobody from England. Was probably the first time in
28:15
Speaker 3: the finals there's literally didn't know one from England, so
28:18
Speaker 3: that was kind of a surprise. I'm sure that will
28:20
Speaker 3: be altered next year. But I mean Adam probably could
28:22
Speaker 3: have made it, but he tore up his hands really
28:24
Speaker 3: bad and backed out and gave somebody else a chance. Yeah,
28:29
Speaker 3: because Adam's a great deadlifter. I mean he's Adam's Adams strong,
28:34
Speaker 3: so for him to do that was kind of interesting.
28:37
Speaker 3: But I'm the English guys will be back next year.
28:40
Speaker 3: I'm sure that. Oh yeah, yeah, without a doubt in
28:44
Speaker 3: my mind, they won't. They won't take that line.
28:47
Speaker 2: Down, yeah at all.
28:52
Speaker 3: But yeah, Eddie Williams, who was just having a having
28:56
Speaker 3: a great world strongest man.
28:57
Speaker 1: He really was. He's He's probably one of the hindest
29:00
Speaker 1: guys you'll ever see. He really is. He's a very nice,
29:04
Speaker 1: humble guy.
29:04
Speaker 2: He actually got to help him out during a lot
29:06
Speaker 2: of the events year too.
29:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that was really fun for me, is between
29:11
Speaker 3: helping Mitch and helping him and helping Tray and even Evan,
29:16
Speaker 3: even though Evan did make the finals. I think Evan
29:21
Speaker 3: just just needs to kind of re evaluate how he.
29:26
Speaker 1: Competes on game day. Yes, if he ever does that,
29:30
Speaker 1: which means.
29:31
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to reevaluate how he trains as well
29:35
Speaker 3: and does things under control with focus and a completely
29:41
Speaker 3: different thing. Quit quit trying to. I mean, we watched
29:45
Speaker 3: that Hulk Hogan documentary.
29:48
Speaker 2: We definitely did watch all five episodes.
29:53
Speaker 3: If he gets to where he comes in focused and
29:55
Speaker 3: does the stuff after the event, not before the event,
30:02
Speaker 3: there's no limit to Evan's strength.
30:03
Speaker 1: There, There's really not. It's all has it.
30:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got it in spades, he really does.
30:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was.
30:11
Speaker 3: Nothing in this final that Evan would not do well
30:14
Speaker 3: exactly nothing so and but he's just got to understand,
30:20
Speaker 3: you there's little things you got to keep keep track of,
30:23
Speaker 3: and there's little things you gotta do, which they they
30:27
Speaker 3: Nico and him knew what they were. And it looks
30:30
Speaker 3: like by the time he left he was kind of
30:33
Speaker 3: realizing a lot of that stuff. And I think they're
30:35
Speaker 3: gonna go back and I think he'll come out.
30:37
Speaker 1: And the drum.
30:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree, But you know also too,
30:42
Speaker 2: it's gonna give an opportunity to heal that peck even more,
30:45
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, And you know, really really
30:47
Speaker 2: dial back in because like like I said, I can
30:50
Speaker 2: I can always see it in Evan, but it's it's
30:52
Speaker 2: just like, man, you don't got to go out there
30:54
Speaker 2: and be flashy, you know what I'm saying.
30:57
Speaker 1: The crowd still, yeah.
30:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to be there, whether whether it's flash
31:03
Speaker 3: or not. They just want to see him go. The
31:06
Speaker 3: character can come out when the event's over, exactly on
31:12
Speaker 3: the field, you know, you come out and smoke everybody
31:15
Speaker 3: in something you don't need to get fired up before
31:18
Speaker 3: it and carry on before it. You can like let
31:21
Speaker 3: it go afterwards, but not too much because you need
31:23
Speaker 3: to say stuff for the next event. But I think
31:29
Speaker 3: he has got so much untapped potential, you know, I
31:35
Speaker 3: really do, I really do.
31:38
Speaker 2: And guess what, we're not the only ones that see it.
31:41
Speaker 1: Oh no, not at all, not in the slightest.
31:46
Speaker 2: Actually, I wanted to cover the last qualifier heat event
31:51
Speaker 2: actually because it was different than the years before, because
31:56
Speaker 2: you know, we've had conversations where you know, strong Man's
31:58
Speaker 2: a strategic game, and they took a little bit of
32:01
Speaker 2: the strategic out for those last PEO.
32:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, so World Strongest Man is for for forever. Try
32:09
Speaker 3: to figure out a way to get the guys that
32:12
Speaker 3: are leading going into the last event and the qualifying
32:16
Speaker 3: keats because it's a TV show to get the guys
32:19
Speaker 3: to go all out, because I mean, they just shut
32:22
Speaker 3: it down. Why why am I gonna go kill myself
32:25
Speaker 3: in this last event when there's nothing I can do
32:27
Speaker 3: to lose the spot. I gotta go out, pick something up,
32:30
Speaker 3: get one point, and I'm good. I can just hands
32:33
Speaker 3: off and not have to go really hard. Well, the
32:35
Speaker 3: thing that they figured out was the points system m
32:39
Speaker 3: and they take they score world Strongest Man again after everybody,
32:46
Speaker 3: you got the ten winners for the for the finals, and.
32:49
Speaker 1: They rescore it.
32:49
Speaker 3: But each event based on how you did, and it's
32:54
Speaker 3: you get you know, one point. It comes all the
32:56
Speaker 3: way down. So the guy whoever's in first place with
33:01
Speaker 3: the best scoreres and stuff like that. Overall, well they're
33:04
Speaker 3: gonna get ten points. The second guy is gonna get
33:06
Speaker 3: nine thirds, you know, eight and seven, six, five, A
33:09
Speaker 3: tenth place gets one point going into the finals. So
33:13
Speaker 3: you have a really big advantage going into that if
33:16
Speaker 3: you're in first place, Well, for the second place guy,
33:20
Speaker 3: he's got to make up a point. He's got to
33:22
Speaker 3: beat you right off the rip to even get tied
33:25
Speaker 3: with you. So that's a big deal. That's that's a
33:28
Speaker 3: really big deal. And third place has got to make
33:31
Speaker 3: up two points and fourth place has got to make
33:33
Speaker 3: up three points stuff like that, which gets pretty.
33:36
Speaker 1: Difficult to do, and it gives you a good advantage.
33:38
Speaker 3: So now when they get to that fourth event, the
33:41
Speaker 3: guys come out they mean business. Because if you do
33:44
Speaker 3: good in every single event, you never take an event off,
33:47
Speaker 3: which makes stuff like where you get one point or
33:50
Speaker 3: a zero in an event even more costly. It's gonna
33:54
Speaker 3: make you come out and perform on everything that you
33:59
Speaker 3: that you're gonna do.
34:00
Speaker 1: It's just genius. It's great that.
34:02
Speaker 3: They finally figured that out instead of destroying these guys
34:04
Speaker 3: on the stone over bar, because half through top five
34:08
Speaker 3: was so shot from doing you know, thirteen reps on
34:12
Speaker 3: a stone over bar exactly after doing the whole contest,
34:15
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden they got either one day
34:17
Speaker 3: or the next day they got to turn around and
34:19
Speaker 3: start the finals, and their back after that is just gone.
34:22
Speaker 3: There's nothing like happening. You just guaranteed those bottom five
34:27
Speaker 3: guys six through tenth are not even gonna they might
34:30
Speaker 3: not even podium. I think there's only one guy that's
34:34
Speaker 3: in the stone over bar, one guy that managed to
34:37
Speaker 3: do that that actually made the podium. So yeah, so
34:42
Speaker 3: there's that. So I'm very excited to see them change
34:46
Speaker 3: that and come up with a much better thing for
34:48
Speaker 3: the athletes as far as that goes. So it's kind
34:52
Speaker 3: of that part's really neat. I really enjoyed that part
34:56
Speaker 3: of it, so there is no taking it off.
35:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that stone melody was nuts because there was
35:03
Speaker 2: only a handful a handful of people that finished it,
35:06
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, because that last stone.
35:10
Speaker 1: Goddamn.
35:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, a lot of guys needed to know what
35:13
Speaker 3: to do with it. I mean, yeah, you pick it
35:15
Speaker 3: up and you set it on the top of your toes.
35:18
Speaker 3: Then you grab around underneath it and you stiff like
35:20
Speaker 3: dead lift that thing up in your lap, and then
35:22
Speaker 3: you you get it on your belly like an atlostoone
35:25
Speaker 3: and pull that thing in then put it up on
35:27
Speaker 3: the podium and Gordion, I love that kid. I practically
35:33
Speaker 3: lost my voice screaming at him take his hands off
35:35
Speaker 3: the stone because he got it up there and was
35:36
Speaker 3: so excited.
35:37
Speaker 1: He's like laying on the stone. It's like you're tagging
35:39
Speaker 1: off the stone. You turning out the stone because it
35:43
Speaker 1: cost him ten seconds that it did.
35:46
Speaker 2: Man, Just like he said, he's all. Once he picked
35:48
Speaker 2: it up, everything else went black. I didn't see anything
35:51
Speaker 2: he or anything. I was just happy I did it.
35:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a lot of guys that passed out
35:56
Speaker 1: at this show too, which is yes, exactly.
35:59
Speaker 3: Evan's probably the most dramatic and frightening one I think
36:04
Speaker 3: of the group, which that kid's fierce competitor. He keeps
36:08
Speaker 3: getting better every year. Ye, he's always got a his face.
36:13
Speaker 1: You know.
36:13
Speaker 3: He did an absolute face plant after the squats. Yeah,
36:16
Speaker 3: it came out and just fell. And I mean he
36:19
Speaker 3: just gets his hands up in time as he hits
36:22
Speaker 3: the platform, so he doesn't he smacks his face into
36:25
Speaker 3: his hands and not into the rubber matt, not the platform.
36:30
Speaker 1: But yep, yeah it was. But he's also a crowd favorite.
36:35
Speaker 1: He really gets the energy going. Yeah, and like.
36:40
Speaker 2: Shirtless people lost T shirts this year.
36:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
36:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, a whole bunch of the jerseys after the finals,
36:51
Speaker 3: the whole bunch of the guy's shirts that they were wearing,
36:53
Speaker 3: almost all of them went out to the crowd and
36:56
Speaker 3: the people who stayed to watch.
36:57
Speaker 1: Afterwards after the ones were handing out.
37:00
Speaker 3: Was kind of a neat thing for the people that stayed,
37:02
Speaker 3: So it was that was pretty special. So and even
37:05
Speaker 3: a couple of guys that weren't athletes. Yeah, yeah, it's
37:12
Speaker 3: cool stuff.
37:12
Speaker 1: It really was.
37:14
Speaker 3: But all in all, I had a great time. I
37:16
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun. Thanks to check yeah for

37:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was exactly exactly you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: So it's it's it's insane, you know that we get
37:55
Speaker 2: to we got to enjoy our time down there, which
37:57
Speaker 2: is always fun. And we didn't hear any rumor where
38:00
Speaker 2: it's at next year. But let's start one today. I
38:02
Speaker 2: think it's going to be back at Myrtle Beach.
38:04
Speaker 3: I hope it's back at Myrtle Beach. It's pretty nice.
38:07
Speaker 3: And I didn't have to worry about my trucket and stolen.
38:09
Speaker 2: Either, Yeah exactly, so.
38:15
Speaker 3: Which I put a nice alarm system into this one,
38:18
Speaker 3: so I don't think that'll happen exactly.
38:21
Speaker 1: You know.
38:23
Speaker 2: Anyway, I think we did pretty good well, Nick, take
38:26
Speaker 2: us on out of here, because I think we pretty
38:27
Speaker 2: much covered you know, we were you know, you know,
38:29
Speaker 2: we met right off the writ. We didn't even have
38:31
Speaker 2: to pull up any notes because we covered everything.
38:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just kind of went off the head. I mean,
38:37
Speaker 3: like I said, it was this great show. I mean
38:40
Speaker 3: it really was. You know, it's always fun to watch
38:44
Speaker 3: Pavlo Cordiaca compete as well. I mean I think he
38:47
Speaker 3: got fourth overall, you know, and he came back from
38:51
Speaker 3: a deficit. He did, so that is he is one
38:54
Speaker 3: heck of an athlete. When that kid fills out, he
38:56
Speaker 3: is he puts on another thirty pounds, he's going to
38:59
Speaker 3: be It's hard to do.
39:01
Speaker 1: It because he's so fast.
39:02
Speaker 2: He's on the smaller side man, but he's he's got
39:05
Speaker 2: the strength and the aletticism because he's explosiveness.
39:10
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So I mean, yeah, it's the socks.
39:16
Speaker 1: It's definitely the socks.
39:18
Speaker 3: But I can't say enough about all the competitors and
39:20
Speaker 3: how much fun it was to go there and watch
39:23
Speaker 3: and hang out and then you know, get asked questions
39:27
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. You know, what do you think
39:28
Speaker 3: of this? What do you think of that? I'm like,
39:30
Speaker 3: or just walk up and going, hey, where's this and
39:32
Speaker 3: they're like, what are you talking about? I go, you
39:33
Speaker 3: should probably do this. Every point counts in this anything
39:38
Speaker 3: you can think of or to do to make an
39:40
Speaker 3: event half a second faster. In this makes a big difference.
39:47
Speaker 3: It really does, because all the guys are that good.
39:50
Speaker 3: They're you know this year, Reno and and Mitch, we're
39:55
Speaker 3: so and Hooper we're so far ahead of everybody else.
39:59
Speaker 3: They were in their own contest, but everybody else, they
40:01
Speaker 3: were all jammed together.
40:02
Speaker 1: Like I said, at the end of the contest, start
40:05
Speaker 1: to still make thirty. That's it.
40:08
Speaker 3: So any little thing, all the little tiny things that
40:12
Speaker 3: make a big, big difference in the end, those add up,
40:14
Speaker 3: and that's the type of thing you need to be
40:18
Speaker 3: looking for when you're in a competition.
40:19
Speaker 1: So exactly.
40:21
Speaker 3: Anyway, So thanks to everybody. Thanks for Worlds for letting
